G'day All,-----
Sorry for putting this in here but I thought it was the most likely place for most people to see it, and it seems that some may still not be reading the "sticky notes" posted at the top of the major forums.-----

If you are waiting to have you membership at Zone Five activated or if you have found your account has been banned accidentally;-----

We have a problem with large numbers of spammers trying to access the site using bogus registrations, and we are taking measures to try and ensure that only valid members are allowed access.-----

In order to help us with this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could include some relevant information, of your own choice, in the personal details section of your profile. This will help us confirm and activate your membership as soon as possible.-----You can delete it as soon as we have activated your membership if you have any privacy concerns. We are only interested in trying to differentiate legitimate members from possible spammers/ bogus accounts. We're not asking for anything you are not comfortable to provide, or anything particularly sensitive. There must be something simple that you can add that would just illustrate that you are a genuine member and not a spammer? We can't say what to add because the spammers could just read this and find another way through. It's not so much about what you add or about "vetting" members (We probably spend less than a second looking at it), but purely an effort to keep out unwanted spammers. Nothing else.-----

Without this information, there is a VERY good chance your account will not be approved.

I don't know if F-16's still use these but Strike Eagles sure do when back home for basic bombing practice. These SUU-20's are made by Video Aviation in Italy and include six BDU-33's for each set. I ordered two sets in case I want these on my 32 Viper or Strike.

The set looks great, but I noticed the tubes that hold the explosive carts were not included, but unless you've worked around SUU-20's you wouldn't know those were installed.

I've got one of all the Hasegawa weapon sets so I'll take a gander at it when I have a chance to dig for it. Kinda bummer as that set by these guys looks fantastic. Probably be perfect for doing a Strike Eagle in the euro 1 colors.

....are available in the excellent DACO F-104 Starfighter Improvement kit. It includes parts for both the closed and open door configuration and parts for BDU-33 and BDU-48 practice bombs. Also parts for the shorter version used on the F-111 and the blunt nosed Canadian MN1A version. Very nice injection molding.

This kit includes lots of other stores applicable to the starfighter era: rocket pods, missiles, other types of practice bomb dispensers, target tow pods, four types of nuclear bombs, and photo pods. A great kit to have in your stash even if you are not interested in F-104's!
